VD

aw, it's valentine's day, aw aw aw.
no, i'm not here to post how women in india are burning card stores because VD is an amoral day (at least according to the government), i am actually here to say that if you are involved with someone right now, well, you can go suck it....of course you can take that literally, or you can just go piss off. i'm tired of all your "doing things with your significant other" and laughy laugh laugh at a private inside joke, ha ha motherfuckers. and you know what? i'm not alone in this, so take your sorry arses to relationshipland and leave me the hell alone.

(unless you're planning on cheating, if so, tell me now, i need to clean up my apartment, my very lonely and forlorn apartment)

"As Valentine’s Day once again rears its ugly heart-shaped head, a shocking new study shows that most single people have utterly given up ever finding love.

Nearly half of all adult Americans are single, yet only 26% of them are in “committed relationships” and a staggering 56% of lonely hearts said they’re not involved with anyone and aren’t seeking a partner.

That’s according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project’s new survey, “Romance in America.”

With about half of U.S. adults either married or “living as married” and most singles not even bothering trying to meet anyone, only 7% of Americans are in the dating market.
The number of never-married adults has been skyrocketing since the 1960s, but the new survey shows more and more young people have given up while there are still so many lonesome decades ahead of them.

Without fail, a majority of dateless singles said they felt it was especially hard to find a date where they lived – 55% claimed this was true. Those living in cities felt a little more hopeful, while those in the lonesome suburbs and rural areas were quickest to give up completely.

Even the “active singles” aren’t getting any action, the report says.

Just one-fourth of those seeking romance had more than four dates over the past three months. More than a third – 36% – had no dates at all.

It’s a wonder anybody bothers with Valentine’s Day at all."
